St. Catherine saw Christ in a vision:

“Although I have quoted only male saints to this point, it’s important to note that women saints were equally condemnatory of gay sex. St. Catherine of Siena (1347-1380) was a mystic Doctor of the Church who was instrumental in bringing the papacy back to Rome. She also writes of the sin of homosexuality in one of her visions of Christ explaining how this transgression against the body and the intellect concludes with a loss of the soul: “[B]ut these wretches not only do not bridle this fragility, but do worse, committing that accursed sin against nature, and as blind and fools, with the light of their intellect darkened, they do not know the stench and misery in which they are. It is not only that this sin stinks before me, who am the Supreme and Eternal Truth, it does indeed displease me so much and I hold it in such abomination that for it alone I buried five cities by a divine judgment, my divine justice being no longer able to endure it.”

Yeah, they met a “Christ” that thought the way they did, rather than one that expanded their minds in love and its capabilities. Uh huh.

Unless, perhaps, there was a greater context to the revelation (as there was to the various admonitions to the churches in the book of Revelation) but then we have to ask, why this truncated treatment. It seems self serving from one angle if not the other.
